Have you considered that maybe it is you who, outside your geographical area, don’t really know how it works?
Those who work with the VPN service obviously do not want to end up in prison to protect their users. But if there is no saved data, there is nothing for the supplier to disclose (ISPs in Sweden must save info, but not VPN providers).
In Sweden there are no laws that state that VPN providers need to store any logs or data about their customers activity. No need to save User information, Connection logs, Usage logs etc, see How OVPN prevents any traffic logs | OVPN.com . Similar laws in Panama and British Virgin Islands. To some extent also Romania.
It is a stated fact that OVPN have not given any info, not because they want to go “to jail for you for a couple of dollars per month”, they have collaborated with the authorities, but they just simply don’t have any data to give.
Also, if we look into the logic of in secret saving logs even you don’t need it. If we assume VPN providers do their thing because they want to earn money. Then there are no reasons to say they do not save, but then secretly do so (except if one might believe in conspiracy theories). On the other hand, if they say they don’t save data, but do so in secret, they would brake GDPR rules that in Sweden gives huge penalties and possible jail time. Also lying in court about not having secret logs would give jail time and penalties. And when the information is leaked to the public about their secret logs, they lose their source of income as most customers leave them.
So hard facts from Swedish court, Swedish laws, logic and reason say that OVPN don´t need to save and don´t have any saved info, and therefore simply don´t have any info to give. I would say that is VPN provider you can trust (and there are others).
